Conde, SD: Aban/C&NW/M&StL Depot and Grain Elevators

Depot: (Satellite, it was west of 2nd Street.)
Grain Elevators: (Satellite, steel bins have been added on the north side)


Technically, I should have labeled these notes as "rrOther" because Minneapolis & St. Louis became part of the C&NW after 1928, but the label "rrCaNW" is more informative.

Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted
Here we see a photo of the C&NW depot in Conde, South Dakota. Conde was originally on an M&St.L line. The photo was taken after the depot had been abandoned. Conde is located one station stop north of Doland, SD and midway on a line from Watertown to Aberdeen.
Baron Behning: As I understand it the M&St. L had plans to cross the Missouri River at Akaska but was stopped due to the high cost.

The depot was just west of 2nd Street. And there was a route that went to the West as well as to the Northwest. That route does not appear on a 1958 topo map. The old wooden grain elevators are still standing.

This is the mstl depot from Nahon SD. They were on the same line. My picture from 6-23-18. Conde looks like it was the same style of depot.
Dennis DeBruler: Where is this building located today?
